He gave it 4.5 stars. Holy cow! I can only imagine what a Langdon pistol would get. Six! I have a couple of his 92s and absolutely love them. (Well, one now. The wife found my stash and claimed one)
I have a compact PX four compact straight factory. I love the gun. Brett has done a great job with it. I don’t see the opening at longer distances as in the video. Actually made a 100 yard shot with it. It is without a doubt my favorite gun.
I had one years and years ago in regret ever selling it. I always thought it shot amazingly but aesthetically I did not like the looks. These days I’m a lot wiser and looks don’t mean anything to me.
I own and carry the PX4 compact and find it to be a very well designed and reliable firearm. Mine is an F model which works for me. I’m glad I found your channel and have subscribed. Now I can spend hours getting caught up on past episodes 😂
I have an ltt version optic ready. Has 3.5 single and 6.5 double and optic cut. Have just added the Vantage Point comp and shoots even softer 19:25 . The pistol is a soft shooter and capable of really good accuracy . Free style at 25 yards will hold 10 ring group on B8 targets.
I know in past videos you say your not an expert/competitor shooter but I’m impressed with your skills. Don’t set yourself short. That Shadow 2 from CZ that you shot, you burnt that target up. Love the videos
Thank you for the kind words. I just enjoy shooting and what I can do is just because I do it a lot. Trust me, I do not shoot every gun well. There are a few that just do not shoot well for me.
Just picked up one of these few weeks ago. I love how it shoots. Changed the trigger bar and switched to a flat trigger from Langdon, soooo smooth. Reset is a lot shorter than what I seen here. Definitely going to get my slide milled for an optic. Nice informative video
I’ve had that gun for years and I shoot it quite well. I’ve shot other pistols where the barrel doesn’t rotate and I notice how difficult it is to get back on target. I also have a full size APX and it doesn’t shoot as well as this little gem. I’m never getting rid of it unless I move up to the Langdon version.
I’d wanted the px4 storm compact for two years and couldn’t find a compact until late last year. I got the stainless edition with the black frame and stainless slide and went straight to Langdon and started making mine a compact carry. I now have all the parts you’d put on the Langdon version and man Jason is this a sweet shooter and currently my favorite polymer pistol in DA/SA. What a soft and flat shooting 9mm not that 9 is recoil heavy but with this platform? Man it’s just next level imo. I absolutely love my px4 and while initially the styling struck me a little strange, I still found it cool and interesting enough to seek one out and am I glad I did. I loved my CZ p07 but this px4 simply puts that to shame, it had no equal in this segment
@@jeffreygoss8109 hell no lol. This is by far my favorite pistol and I own ones that are supposed to be far better but don’t even come close after Langdonizing this little bastid lol. I used to think nothing would be as good as my Wilson EDCX9 until I got the Sig 229 Legion SAO and then I got the Staccato C2 and none of them shoot as well as this PX4. It’s crazy how Beretta absolutely knocked it out of the park w this thing but yet so few people know how great it is. You’re on the right track brother, definitely get one, it just can’t be mine lol. Thanks for posting man God bless
THX FOR THE VIDEO. I WOULD RECOMMEND USING A CONTROL HAND GUN FOR COMPARISON WHEN TESTING ACCURACY. THE SAME AMMO MAY GIVE DIFFERENT OR SIMILAR RESULTS IN DIFFERENT BARRELLS. THE SAME SHOOTER CAN HAVE DIFFERENT OR SIMILAR ACCURACY WITH DIFFERENT HANDGUNS.
I got mine from LTT 2 weeks ago and have put about 100 rounds through it. I’m telling you it’s amazing and all the problems you had would not be there with one the Ernest. He’s done an amazing job with the gun. He has one that he’s put 70,000 rounds through in a year. I believe he has 3 that have over 50,000 rounds through without anything major happening to them. Beretta says that the gun will run 150,000 without any kind of breakage. It’s a pretty awesome pistol if you ask me. I’ll be lucky if I get to 10,000 rounds with this gun so I feel good about its reliability.
I love this gun, and would rebuy if they made one with a textured alum metal frame and wood inserts. Something to that effect.Same size as this compact version.
Another honest review, thank you! I’m considering changing up my EDC to a hammer-fired pistol and debating between the PX4 Compact or CZ P-07. One thing that isn’t mentioned is the shorter barrel compared to other compact pistols, which will affect velocity. Also, there isn’t much texturing on the sides of the grip, which isn’t as important as front and back texturing, but still a concern for some.
I love this gun. It’s my EDC. Also, it’s perfect the way it is. I thought l would prefer to carry my Walther PDP full size, but the Beretta is the champion. Mainly because of the D/SA and the decocking safety.
Great gun! Recently picked one up. Glad I did. Feels Natural to point and aim. And feels great to shoot, part of the reason is that the px4 compact 9mm model always had a thicker rotating barrel which adds a half ounce but slightly softens the recoil sensation. The full size px4 9mm has a thicker barrel only in the new model g-sd (.40 width barrel but drilled for 9mm). It’s different but different is better in this case.
Yes, you actually can suppress the BERETTA PX4, the Swiss company B&T has a specific suppressor made for the PX4, whether it's in Cal. 9x19 or in .45ACP !
I carry the same px4 compact carry edition i got 6 years ago. It comes with the night site which i found to be better then the original factory I 1st shot. You missed the biggest pro. You can set the CX4 storm carbine to take the same mag.
@@thetexasgunvault you also the px4 compact carry model that has the upgrades. The new one just came out. One of the safty features you missed is right in front of the rear sites is a dot. When you pull the trigger the little cylinder comes up to allow the hammer to hit the pin. if you drop gun when it is in SA it will not fire.
Good video thanks! Hope you get to test out a full size with the langdon upgrades! I'm drooling over the new full size G SD model that is basically using the thicker 40 s&w barrel chambered in 9mm. The heavily modified ones just started being shipped out by LTT last month I think.
I agree the SA/DA is the best system in my way of thinking. The worst problem with the PX4 Storm and is commented in every review is the lack of texture ion the grip side panels. I can’t believe Beretta can’t see,and fix. The another issue is the short barrel however it is great shooter. The rotation of the barrel means some form of locking suppressor is needed. The Storm needs a greater market adoption to get the suppressor manufacturer’s to develop a needed lockup mechanism. The Langdon team has a fix for the thin front sight. I would love to get a Langdon modified PX4 Storm perhaps with a stippled grip rather than the glue on grip texture. I
Holy mother of god.. over how long have you fired that many rounds??? How do you afford to burn through that many? What are the weak points on the gun? I’m assuming you’ve replaced a number of springs/other minute things and that you’re intimately aware of the pros/cons of the gun. Only asking because I’m very interested in getting one of these, they’ve only just fallen into my purview maybe a month ago but man.. the gun has quickly worked its way up to my top maybe 1 or 2 (realistic) most-wanted guns. Would love to hear your take!!
You stated you thought there was a significant gap between front sights and rear sight blades. Maybe that is why longer distance seemed less accurate ?
Mine is a 9mm subcompact. These guns are underrated. It is like the iphone 13 mini or zenfone 10 of handguns which are small but fully capable. My friends told me to get the glock 26 but I am more confident to use DA/SA for EDC.
Thanks for the great review! I guess that I'm old school too Jason. Definitely love SA, DA/SA and revolvers over striker-fired guns. I like the PX-4 Storm and have owned a couple of them for a short time. They're a great gun, but I found that they didn't quite fit my needs at the time. So I let them get away. Would I buy another? Maybe.
Striker fired, and revolver guns, are faster, and more reliable, than SA/DA SA Guns that's a fact. I like them also, and If given a choice, the PX4 Sub, or compact, I haven't been able to stop, with any ammo. They will run garbage FMJ that won't run in anything else. Every HP I've bought +p any amount of charge. It's for Shure a EDC. I like the 4" compact You get very used to it, and it's quirks. In time, you can get real good with this gun.....
I've shot the Beretta/Stoeger Cougar. I like that gun a bit more in most regards, except the fat stock grips. Flat on the sides and textured in the straps, the Px4 fis more controllable for my hands. The trigger on the Px4 feels a bit smoother and more predictable. Both are great guns. I recall the 92 series being exceptionally easy to rack, too.
I have this gun haven't shot it yet. How is the recoil? My current carry is a Glock 19 9mm of course. Its very easy to take apart the storm cleaned it and haven't put it back together.
We hear own seven different varieties of the PX4 family. We have 5 full size PX4 in 40 S&W.2 Compact PX4 9mm and one PX4 sub compact 9mm. The ejection of your ammo is probably nothing more than your ammo choice. For whatever reason, we have found that using standard production ammo we would have Brass that would eject randomly In the 40 caliber PX4. (As we did not have any 9mm PX4 at the time.) As soon as we started to use our reloads, the problem went away. In fact, we realized we could adjust Our loadings and make the brass land where we wanted it to.
Bought a Compact Carry fully-loaded by LTT and am picking up a full-size loaded LTT G-SD in about an hour. I guess that's an endorsement. I probably have a dozen 9mm pistols (to include an LTT loaded HK P30L w/the LEM) and the PX-4s are my favorites aside from a Wilson Combat Super Grade in 9mm that's awesome, but not a carry gun IMHO.
All pistols , especially 3 inch barreled pistols groups always open up when you double the distance from 7 to 15 yds or even more...especially when firing from a standing position. That aside Great review, great pistol. Same thing happens when I shoot my sig p365. Shooting same gun from a rest of some sort will reduce group size at further distances
What length barrel is the one in the video? I know now they make 4" and 3.3 and they recently discontinued the 3" which I'm in the market for to buy used.
I have 4 PX4s, collecting before they were cool (maybe I'm a dirty lil hipster). Thought the higher bore axis, I think the rotating barrel compensates. I've never noticed any symptoms of a high bore axis with these. And ALL of these are easily concealable with a good holster (even with a compensator). I love rotating barrels after owning these. Grand Power is another great consideration. Not as pretty, but amazing shooters. Maybe even better than the PX4 IMHO.
First, no gun is perfect. Second, the rotating barrel is a real innovation with superior recoil characteristics. And finally, as a self defense tool it is quite literally unparalleled. Of course, that’s my opinion.
iraqveteran8888 said that poop out of the brass but he was shooting the full size. I have the same one but I hasn't fired it yet but I love it, I can't wait till I can fire my own at the range.
Maybe it's normal but it seemed to me after I rewatched it 3 times, that there was a lot more barrel rise when you were steadied on the bag than when you first shot it Thanks for this. I really want a px4 compact for my EDC. It's got everything I want for appendix carry, decocker/safety, hammer fired and the size. Every other vid review was just a rave and drool over the px4. I feel like yours was more honest. And I still want one 👍 Try shooting long-range standing w/o the bag
Interesting. I currently own a PX4 Storm Compact in 40S&W. I used to own a PX4 Subcompact in 9mm, but I traded it for the Compact in 40. The subcompact had more recoil than I thought it should have felt (the sc does not have the rotating barrel, by the way). At the time i owned it, I compared it to my friend's PX4 Compact in 9mm. I liked his Compact better. As I said I traded it for the Compact in 40. I love the Compact in 40. I shot my friend's Compact in 9mm side by side. I could not feel much of a difference, and I actually shot my 40 Compact more accurately. I know that's probably because I have more experience with it. I do not feel like it is too snappy, though. Maybe that's because I shoot higher weight bullets, 200 grain, my reloads. I find that my 200 grain reloads have less recoil than the 180 grain factory ammo. One of these days I'll load up some 165 grain bullets and see how the two weight bullets compare when loaded by me.
I would agree with the accuracy opening up at distance. I'm still on the fence with mine. Would like to send it to Langdon, but haven't decided if it's a keeper. I do like the double action hammer fired action for appendix carry.
First off, the standard size isn't much larger than the compact size. I did however change out the sights to the XS SIGHT LOLLY-POP SYSTEM - Big Dot Tritium Express Set, Which Is The Same System As The Sig Sauser's SI-0002S-5. I DO LIKE THE GLOWING SIGHTS.😅 However, They do suggest "Use Instruction Number 1, 2, & 7. (SX SUGGESTED USING THE 5) AND...It's just as good using only the front sight, odd but saves time and your still on point, pardon the pun.😊 I believe I paid around $80 +-. 👍👍👍
I would give your review a 3.9 because you did not show us how to break the gun down. I have often referred to your review of the S&W 5.7 for that reason.
I remember when you could buy this for cheap, no longer. It was deemed the ugly duckling that could. Most people that know this gun say that it is light with felt recoil.

They know what they are doing.
I have the Compact Carry with all the bells and whistles from Langdon in 9mm and love it. Will never sell it.
I do not blame you. I bet that is a sweet shooter.
Same. Love my compact carry. She a heavy girl but she my gurl
Yes, Langdon put over 50,000 rounds through a 9 mm in 18 months without a single failure, no parts problems, no stoppages. Watch some of his videos.
He gave it 4.5 stars. Holy cow! I can only imagine what a Langdon pistol would get. Six! I have a couple of his 92s and absolutely love them. (Well, one now. The wife found my stash and claimed one)

Was about to comment on the same. At 7-10 yards, one should be punching through the same hole.
I had one years and years ago in regret ever selling it. I always thought it shot amazingly but aesthetically I did not like the looks. These days I’m a lot wiser and looks don’t mean anything to me.
We all get older and wiser.
Same, but I did like the looks. But I ended up liking 92s better.
Looks like a loaf of bread, an L shaped bloated big ass loaf.
It's hideous. 🥖🍆🥒😵💫
Had it for years great choice
I had a wife like that....

Langdon.
I have an ltt version optic ready. Has 3.5 single and 6.5 double and optic cut. Have just added the Vantage Point comp and shoots even softer 19:25 . The pistol is a soft shooter and capable of really good accuracy . Free style at 25 yards will hold 10 ring group on B8 targets.

That is great to hear! I can see the advantages of this pistol design.
Great video. Fair and balanced. I have the full size and compact. The full size is very accurate at longer distances, but I carry the compact.
I would like to try the full sized one day.
It’s a great gun, not so much for cc, but for hd it’s excellent. Happy Thanksgiving.
I blacked out the white dots on the rear sight of my M&P 2.0 Compact 9MM and it made the front sight pop up faster, at least for me.
That is a good change that might work for many people.
You should try the Langdon Tactical PX4 Compact Carry. It checks all the boxes that are missing for you, including the sights.+
I would like to try it and see what it is all about.
I own one great trigger and reset - accurate on point

I love this gun, and would rebuy if they made one with a textured alum metal frame and wood inserts. Something to that effect.Same size as this compact version.
to me the grip module made it feel cheap even though i put on talon rubber texture grips...Its my biggest gripe with this gun.
I bet a metal frame would really be a huge upgrade to this pistol. I agree.
Wouldn't that be a Beretta Cougar? I know they don't make them new anymore but you could probably easily find one used or the Stoeger Cougar.

Beretta sells an extended/threaded barrel for this gun, and reportedly, if mounted right, the suppressors don't unthread because the barrel rotates.

Great points and I think you are spot on in your assessment.
If you go for the Langdon version, you get into some heavy bread, somewhere around 2.5K. Original version can still be found used for under $500
It is a huge cost difference.
Thanks bro for keeping it real.....I subscribed bro.
I appreciate that
Just bought one for my first gun 🤙🏼
Congrats! Great choice!
150,000 rounds through storm no breakage, no misfires. this from Beretta.
Good to hear. It seems well built.
Holy mother of god.. over how long have you fired that many rounds??? How do you afford to burn through that many?

What length barrel is the one in the video? I know now they make 4" and 3.3 and they recently discontinued the 3" which I'm in the market for to buy used.
3.3 inches
I have 4 PX4s, collecting before they were cool (maybe I'm a dirty lil hipster). Thought the higher bore axis, I think the rotating barrel compensates. I've never noticed any symptoms of a high bore axis with these. And ALL of these are easily concealable with a good holster (even with a compensator). I love rotating barrels after owning these. Grand Power is another great consideration. Not as pretty, but amazing shooters. Maybe even better than the PX4 IMHO.
I can definitely see the advantages to them for all the reasons you mentioned.
Have 2 Langdons in 9.
Great guns. Where Glock 46?
Hopefully one day they will import the G46.
First, no gun is perfect. Second, the rotating barrel is a real innovation with superior recoil characteristics. And finally, as a self defense tool it is quite literally unparalleled. Of course, that’s my opinion.
And I respect that opinion.
iraqveteran8888 said that poop out of the brass but he was shooting the full size. I have the same one but I hasn't fired it yet but I love it, I can't wait till I can fire my own at the range.
I hope you enjoy it and it works well for you.
What slows you down on the mag change is that you don't know where you index finger needs to be on the mag.
That might be so.
What do you think if this was a 380 model ? I’m 67 and in a wheelchair. Just got my ccw in california
I do not know if .380 would have enough power to cycle a rotating barreled pistol. It would be interesting to see though.
if you use Federal Defender should be ok…. or so Im told
Definitely doesn’t seem to have as much muzzle flip as a Browning style action. Interesting pistol, Jason.
Thank you and I agree. I like the action and how it works.
Maybe it's normal but it seemed to me after I rewatched it 3 times, that there was a lot more barrel rise when you were steadied on the bag than when you first shot it
Thanks for this. I really want a px4 compact for my EDC. It's got everything I want for appendix carry, decocker/safety, hammer fired and the size. Every other vid review was just a rave and drool over the px4. I feel like yours was more honest. And I still want one 👍
Try shooting long-range standing
w/o the bag
Thank you. I try to be honest and make unbiased videos.
@@thetexasgunvault and no one around has a compact 2 😂
Glock is now making 9mm rotating barrel as well you may check those out.
Yes, but they are not available in the U.S.
Interesting. I currently own a PX4 Storm Compact in 40S&W. I used to own a PX4 Subcompact in 9mm, but I traded it for the Compact in 40.
The subcompact had more recoil than I thought it should have felt (the sc does not have the rotating barrel, by the way). At the time i owned it, I compared it to my friend's PX4 Compact in 9mm. I liked his Compact better.
As I said I traded it for the Compact in 40. I love the Compact in 40. I shot my friend's Compact in 9mm side by side. I could not feel much of a difference, and I actually shot my 40 Compact more accurately. I know that's probably because I have more experience with it.
I do not feel like it is too snappy, though. Maybe that's because I shoot higher weight bullets, 200 grain, my reloads. I find that my 200 grain reloads have less recoil than the 180 grain factory ammo. One of these days I'll load up some 165 grain bullets and see how the two weight bullets compare when loaded by me.
They are both great!
@@thetexasgunvault well said! I would like a full size 45 one of these days!
I would agree with the accuracy opening up at distance. I'm still on the fence with mine. Would like to send it to Langdon, but haven't decided if it's a keeper. I do like the double action hammer fired action for appendix carry.
I am glad to know others found this issue too.
You should state the distances you shoot at
I do in most videos.
wow imma have to snag me one of them
I think they are well worth it.
Appreciate
Thank you for watching.
First off, the standard size isn't much larger than the compact size. I did however change out the sights to the XS SIGHT LOLLY-POP SYSTEM - Big Dot Tritium Express Set, Which Is The Same System As The Sig Sauser's SI-0002S-5. I DO LIKE THE GLOWING SIGHTS.😅
However, They do suggest "Use Instruction Number 1, 2, & 7. (SX SUGGESTED USING THE 5) AND...It's just as good using only the front sight, odd but saves time and your still on point, pardon the pun.😊
I believe I paid around $80 +-. 👍👍👍
I can see where a sight change like that would really big a big upgrade for this pistol.
Never see these around anymore.
It is too bad. This one is really nice.
Just pull the hammer back, Mate!
Ok
I would give your review a 3.9 because you did not show us how to break the gun down. I have often referred to your review of the S&W 5.7 for that reason.
I am sorry. I didn't think this one needed one as it comes apart like typical pistols.
You don't have to rack the slide to cock the hammer. Thanks for the vid.
You are very welcome.
I remember when you could buy this for cheap, no longer. It was deemed the ugly duckling that could. Most people that know this gun say that it is light with felt recoil.
Very good points.
I actually think it looks cool maybe Im aline here
That is ok and why there are so many options for us.
I have px4 storm 40 cl for 18 years is not snap you sr snap beretta 500 years the meke the best gun
They do not good guns.
😊😊👍👍
Thank you so much!
im going to go get one as soon as my tax return hits
You will not be disappointed.
Good morning, Jason, not sure why you would drop your standards and carry something that is not a 1911. Beggars' belief really.
Lol, I thought you might say something like that.
@@thetexasgunvault Absolutely, just cover 1911 handguns, people will love you, Cheers🤣😂😅😆
Aww, Andrew, I was going to loan him more Browning Hi Powers just for you. 🤣🤣
